I was in this situation earlier today. I'm using a Mac Mini late 2014.
At some point, I noticed the fan was running at high speed, although the Mac itself was not hot. Also the UI was really unresponsive.
I tried to save the running process list with a $ ps aux > ps.txt
I took several several dozens of seconds to return, then I shut down the Mac with the physical button. I could not find the file after rebooting, neither could I find the command in the history.
So now I am wondering what...
What should I do when the UI becomes unresponsive ?
